Classic Red Lipsticks
The red-carpet classic I reach for first — true reds and blue-reds that photograph beautifully and lift a simple black dress or festive outfit in seconds.
My go-to red-carpet red — I love how this creamy matte shade makes my lips look polished and expensive without feeling dry. I reach for it for holiday parties because one swipe gives me that classic, camera-ready red I can wear all night.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick
I love this iconic 999 red for a reason — it is the bold, true red I picture on a red carpet, and the mini size is perfect for my clutch. I wear it when I want a polished, high-impact lip that still feels comfortable.
DIOR Rouge Dior Satin Mini in shade 999
My affordable long-wear hero — I love how this red stays put through dinner and dancing without drying my lips. I keep it in my bag for touch-ups because the price makes it easy to repurchase.
Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick
My trial-size red-carpet favourite — I love the rich Dragon Girl red and the soft matte finish that lasts for hours. I grab the mini when I want a luxury red without the full-size price.

Rich Berry & Plum Lips
Deep berry, plum and wine shades for winter nights — my favourite moody alternative to red when I want a softer, richer party lip.

Glossy & Shiny Finishes
High-shine glosses and vinyl finishes for that juicy red-carpet pout — my pick when I want bold colour without a flat matte look.
My glossy cherry pick — I love how this lip oil gives me a juicy, shiny tint without feeling sticky. I layer it over red or berry lipstick when I want that plump, red-carpet shine.
DIOR Lip Glow Oil Hydrating High-Shine Gloss
My go-to glossy brown-nude shine — I love how this gloss makes my lips look fuller and more polished over any red or berry. I wear Hot Chocolit when I want a warm, glossy finish that still feels festive.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Lip Gloss
My affordable fat-oil gloss — I love the juicy, high-shine finish and the big applicator that makes my lips look plump in seconds. I wear it alone for a fresh glossy lip or over berry lipstick.
NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Oil
My soft, tinted lip oil for a fresh glossy finish — I love how it gives my lips a sheer berry tint with lots of shine. I wear it on its own for daytime glam or over lipstick at night.

Lip Prep, Liners & Gift Sets
The prep that makes bold colour last — smooth balms, scrubs, sharp liners and ready-to-gift lip sets I use before any red or berry.
My overnight lip prep before any bold lip — I love how this mask leaves my lips soft and smooth by morning. I use the holiday gingerbread version in winter so my red and berry lipstick never cracks.
Lip Sleeping Mask - LANEIGE
My mini liner-and-lipstick duo for a perfect Pillow Talk pout — I love how the liner defines my lips and the lipstick finishes the look. I keep this set for gifting and for trying the shade before buying full size.

My gentle lip scrub before bold colour — I love how it smooths dry winter lips so my red and berry lipstick goes on evenly. I use it the night before a party for a flawless finish.
